There were no more waves in the morning.

Until noon, Li Fangcheng sat silently in the restaurant to eat, and there was a mouthful of it.

"Mr. Li, aren't you afraid, I'll leave with your miracle star?"

Hearing this voice, Li Fangcheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and after a slight pause, he replied without looking up at all: "Mr. Cameron, you are not such a person." ”

"Oh, you just trust me, you can tell I need it. Cameron sat down across from Mr. Lee.

"If you were an ordinary person, I would definitely not leave the Miracle Star on deck, but you are not an ordinary person after all. Li Fangcheng ate the steak, put down the knife and fork, and looked at Cameron with a mysterious smile and said.

The two looked at each other, did not show weakness to each other, and the eyes of both sides flashed with sparks of wisdom!

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be looking for me to help with something, right?" Cameron said first with some difficulty in the face of Li Fangcheng's vision as if he had seen through his own eyes.

"Yes, maybe you can take a look at this thing, and I'll talk about my thoughts later. Li Fangcheng did not hide it, and directly took the script that he had prepared for a long time to Cameron.

What kind of person is Cameron?

Li Fangcheng can't define, but one thing is for sure, Cameron definitely doesn't like the way he goes around.

Cameron's style of doing things can be seen from the movies he made.

Cameron's films tell simple and easy-to-understand stories:

The Terminator is about Skynet's robotic killers traveling through time and space to kill future rebel leaders.

Titanic is about the love of a poor boy and a rich daughter.

True Lies tells the story of an ace agent who defeats terrorists while dealing with family relationships.

Avatar tells the story of a teammate on an invading team who sympathizes with the local natives and in turn confronts their former teammates.

Looking at the entire film industry, there are not many movies that can summarize the plot of the movie in one sentence and have a high box office.

But Cameron can do that.

Many movies, in order to shoot deep emotions and strong feelings, are filled with a large number of lines and meaty dialogues to pave the way.

And under Cameron's lens, there is no such picture.

Tell a good story directly, it's as simple as that, so simple that any student in the directing department even knows the basic skills when he gets started, but not many directors can really tell a good story.

What a simple requirement, yet extremely difficult.

Is it hard to tell a story......?

Is it hard to tell a good story? It's hard......

Is it difficult to tell an extremely wonderful and fascinating classic story?

How many directors are there in the world?

How many people have really won the grand prize and become famous?

Didn't Li Fangcheng take great pains to gain Cameron's trust?

It took more than ten minutes for Cameron to close the script.

"Good script. ”

Needless to say, three words came out of Cameron's mouth, but they were comparable to a thousand words.

Don't underestimate how demanding Cameron is on the script.

Just to make the movie he wants, how many times has Cameron written his own script?

Numerous!

"So, you are so painstaking, do you want to make the deeds of the Titanic into a movie?" Cameron's face did not show any expression.

"That's right, I was still thinking about who to shoot it, and now, I hope to invite you to shoot this film. Li Fangcheng's face was full of sincerity.

"The purpose of the shooting?" Cameron did not deny or confirm.

"In order to let more people know about the existence of the Titanic! The unsinkable ship should remain in everyone's heart, rather than sinking on the lonely bottom of the sea and no one knows!" replied very firmly!

......

Cameron picked up a bottle of water on the table, opened it and took two sips.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

"When?"

"This year, I hope to finish filming by October and release it in October. ”

"That is, nine months of production time?"

"Yes. ”

Cameron replied in the affirmative, thinking carefully.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't deny that this script is very good, but ...... I also have a script in the pipeline......"

"And the script?" Li Fangcheng said in disbelief: "Better than the Titanic?"

"To be honest, this script of yours is one of the best scripts I have ever seen, but it took nine months to form the team, find investment, casting, prop preparation, shooting, post-production, determine the theater line, schedule the film, etc. Nine months is not enough to make this script well, and I would rather shoot my script first than spoil a good script. Cameron also admitted to speaking his mind.

"Investment, our company is responsible, how much is needed, how much we invest, role selection, I have two candidates for the protagonist here, you can rest assured, if you feel unqualified, you can choose a more suitable one. Li Fangcheng watched Cameron subconsciously furrow his eyebrows when he heard that there was a candidate, and hurriedly explained.

"And the props preparation, in fact, we already have a commissioner in Los Angeles to make it, this is the list of props, you might as well take a look at the props we are making. As for the post-production of special effects, we also have a professional top team in the industry to be responsible, with more than 750 people, so it can be said that except for the problems of the theater, there should be no worries about the rest. Li Fangcheng handed Cameron several other lists.

Cameron took a look, and sure enough, all the large props that appeared in the script were already being made, from the process, materials, production company, production costs, etc., everything was available. These things blew his mind!

No one has ever been making something related to a film, even when the director, the actors, the whole team is completely absent.

It's just an incredible thing!

How confident is this?

Astound!

Even if it's Cameron's heart, he is extremely shocked at this moment!

You must know that once the production is different from the director's conception, it will inevitably cause the director's trouble, whether to use it or not to use it?

But Li Fangcheng is completely different from ordinary investors, or screenwriters!

Unexpectedly, when the project has not yet been approved, it has already begun to spend a lot of money to do it.

"But ......" has to deny that Cameron is really moved, if he follows the plan given by Li Fangcheng, he may not be able to make a good movie in nine months, and Cameron, who has never changed his face, will inevitably fall into a tangle!

"Mr. Cameron, if you are sure to shoot the Titanic, then, Miracle Star, I can give it to you. Li Fangcheng gritted his teeth and said to Cameron with a reluctant face.

"Give it to me?" Cameron said incredulously.

"Yes, as long as the movie is finished, this miracle star will be given to you, I believe it will also be of great help to you. Li Fangcheng said helplessly.

"Okay! I promised!"

Unsurprisingly, Cameron agreed.

Others don't know, but Li Fangcheng knows that the movie Cameron is preparing now is called the abyss!

This movie tells the story of when the team members of a nuclear submarine of the United States found an unknown object on the radar screen, the submarine was suddenly hit and sank in a bottomless abyss, and the oil drillers led by Bard were ordered to save the submarine team members.

And that's exactly what it takes to depict and shoot the deep-sea environment!

So Cameron is very similar to shooting the abyss first, but once there is a miracle star to assist in the shooting, even the abyss can be even better!

When you think of the Miracle Star, it almost surpasses the technological content of the current era......

Cameron said yes almost without hesitation!

For a paranoid perfectionist, nothing is more important than making a better movie!

This condition is even more important than Li Fangcheng spending tens of millions of dollars to make props!

"So, let's sign a contract, I need the ownership of this film, including the production, production, video materials, literature, books, game development, etc. Li Fangcheng emphasized the rights he needed.

"Okay, as long as you report truthfully on the personnel list, you can keep the rest of the copyright. "Cameron is a little confused, there is no objection to the game.

Covering all the expenses, script writing, props production, special effects production, and the whole movie, except for the personnel, are all provided by Li Fangcheng, of course, he has the right to get all the copyrights.

And Cameron's words are nothing more than to tell Li Fangcheng that he respects everyone involved, and he doesn't ask anything else, which is also the bottom line.

The rest is the signing of some details, and Li Fangcheng will of course try his best to fight for these things.

But every industry has its own rules, and many things are the same as the unspoken rules, such as the sharing of theaters and theaters, which belongs to the distribution commission, as well as the fees of directors and star actors, the cost of distribution, the production of VCD, DVD, publicity costs, etc., plus the different taxes of each country, the taxes to be paid.

After deducting these, it is the profit of the investor.

Generally speaking, at this time, the investor can get about 33% of the box office, of course, this is averaged according to the overall situation around the world.

Like in Europe and the United States, it is divided according to the release time, and it is not surprising that 90% of the box office is directly given to the producer in the first week, of course, it falls by about 15% every other week.

In the end, only 10% was given to the producer.

These detailed rules can't be finalized now, so they can only be taught to Mu Mengqi to deal with later.

"Mr. Li, I take the liberty of asking, I see that you have the right to develop games, does your company want to make games?" Cameron asked with a frown.

"Director Cameron, you may not know that our company's miracle era is to make games. Li Fangcheng smiled like a proud hunter class.

The update speed of the two updates is about to be resumed, and some emergencies since the recent time have to be dealt with.
